<\/p>\nMotorsport teams are always on the lookout for\u00a0new ways to part fans from their hard-earned cash. Whether it\u2019s branded baseball caps, swanky sunglasses or mini replica helmets, they\u2019re experts at it. And now, the Mercedes Formula E squad has\u00a0a new line of electric bikes\u00a0desperate to deprive you of a few thousand dollars.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The range of four\u00a0electric bikes\u00a0has been created in partnership with bicycle builder N+ Works. The collaboration between the bike maker follows a similar partnership with the Mercedes Formula 1 team\u00a0to build a bougie road bike\u00a0inspired by each year\u2019s F1 racer.<\/p>\n
Now, N+ has worked together with the Mercedes EQ team to create four electric bikes, which start at $3,450.<\/p>\n
The range includes the Formula E Team eBike, the Silver Arrows eBike, the Silver Arrows Sport eBike and the Championship Edition eBike, which was designed to\u00a0honor the squad\u2019s win in last year\u2019s Formula E World Championship.<\/p>\n
All four bikes feature aluminum frames and forks, hydraulic disc\u00a0brakes and\u00a0carbon belt drive. They also\u00a0include a display integrated into the handlebars to show your speed and battery level, which is pretty neat.<\/p>\n
Also, N+ claims that\u00a0all four bikes\u00a0can recharge in three and a half hours, despite their varying battery sizes.<\/p>\n
The \u201cbudget\u201d\u00a0Formula E Team eBike has a range of 40 miles and will hit 20mph thanks to its 250W motor and 7ah battery. The Silver Arrows eBike adds more battery, up to 17ah, which increases the range to 75 miles and the price to $4,500.<\/p>\n
The Sport eBike will set you back $4,950 and lives up to its name with a bigger 500W motor that helps power it on to a top speed of 25mph.<\/p>\n
However, this pales in comparison to the Championship Edition eBike, which offers front suspension, a dual motor setup and twin 10Ah batteries that can power it up to 28mph for up to 75 miles. This $5,800 bike is also the only model offered as a single-speed, while the other three include a constant-variable transmission.<\/p>\n
All four of these e-bikes look like a lot of fun. They have very sleek frames that hide the fact that they\u2019re electrically-powered pretty well.<\/p>\n
They might not pack in tech directly lifted from\u00a0the championship-winning Formula E team, but it\u2019s a pretty neat collaboration that has spawned some very nice looking bikes.\u00a0It\u2019s a shame the color options aren\u2019t more inspiring. It\u2019s a choice between black, silver or black and blue. But maybe next year\u00a0when the team is rebranded in McLaren orange\u00a0we might get a jazzier color palette.<\/p>\n
